Chandler: "So, where do you wanna eat?" he asked while brushing the hair on the back of her head.
Monica: "Ooh! I know this really nice place in SoHo!"
Chandler: "Hhokay, isn't that a little too far?"
Monica: "Why'd you even ask?'
Chandler: "I've been craving for Japanese. Do you know one?"
Monica: "Yeah. There's one I've always wanted to try but we gotta take a cab."
He stopped one and they went.

Monica's POV
Wow. I can't believe it. It's been three months since we got to hang-out again. Alone.
The guy took our orders and left.
"I missed you." he said as he held her hand on the table. Monica's emotions we're inexplainable.
"Me too." she replied and smiled sweetly at him.
"Hey, listen. I'm sorry I don't get to spend that much time with you anymore. It's just that things are going really well with me and Barbara."
Ugh. All I ever hear is that Barbara. Why'd I even introduce her to them. uurrgh.
"That's nice. The two of you are getting along." tsss. getting along my ass. MUST. ACT. NICE.
"I wanna thank you."
"For what?"
"For bringing her to my life. I think this may end to something serious."
Oh shit.
Maybe you should be serious with me.
"You think?"
"Yeah."
"I'm not so sure. She has dated a bunch a guys." yeah. way to go Mon. Make up rumors.
"Oh really? She didn't tell me about that."
"You see? You should be open to one another! Not like that!" I'm a horrible person.
Playing with the strands of my hair, I asked jokingly so that it does't come off too intriguing.
"So, you got over me THAT fast? I thought you loved me?" (insert fake flirty laugh and hand gesture to my chest as if I was hurt-well a little. I mean, that was quick moving on!) which made Chandler laugh as well.
"I don't think I'll ever get over you." he looked me in the eyes. I'm melting. help!
We we're interrupted by the waiter serving us the food but it was a good thing cause I can feel myself just sitting still there after what he said.
"But i know I have to." he continued.
Please don't. Just keep loving me.
"That's right. You're with Barbara now. And she really likes you. She could be the one."
Those were things that got out of my mouth. I could've said things that could change the situation but instead, i just keep pushing him to her. Even though it's not what I want. What I want to do is wrong. He's beggining to be happy with her and if he's happy, I shouldn't get in the way. It's a rule to never go for someone who's taken. It's just wrong. I can't do it. I want to...it's just wrong.
"Yeah, you're right." I faked a smile in response and ate.

They we're back in their apartment building and Chandler accompanied her to the door since they were both really tired. She opened it.\
"So, you sure you don't wanna come in?(looks at the living room and sees phoebe and rachel staring) Pheebs and Rach are still here."
"Yeah. I'm too exhausted. We can go get coffee tomorrow though."
"huh like we never do that." She said sarcastically. He laughed and gave her a quick hug with a kiss on the cheek.
"Kay. Thanks for dinner."
"No problem." He smiled, raised his hand and turned.
"Goodnight!" Monica shut the door and we're getting mischievous looks from the two.
Phoebe: "Ooohh someone went out on a daaate~!" she sang
Rachel: "AAh yes!"
Monica: "That wasn't a date."
She sat beside the girls just staring blankly and smiling. She reached over for the margarita Phoebe just made and took a sip, still not removing that smile. The two girls looked at eachother and started to get things out of her.
Phoebe: "Mon, what are you thinking about?" she said with a sly grin
"Yeah Mon, tell us." rach added.
"It's nothing! Okay?"
Phoebe:"Still nothing?! Ugh."
Monica: "It cant be a date. It's just a friendly dinner."
Rachel: "Yeah whatever. By the way pheebs, remind me to not talk about mondler again."
Phoebe: "Let's face it we can never do that."
she shrugged in agreement.
Phoebe: "So really no juicy stuff for us?"
Monica shaked her head.
Phoebe: "No? Okay."
Monica: "God! Finally."
"..."
"..."
Phoebe: "Are you sure you don't have feelings for him?"
Monica: "Yes. I'm sure." she said in like a questioning tone.
Rachel: "Well then, we'll stop bothering you. And plus, Phoebe it's fine. You know why? Cause I got this." She reached out for the leather notebook in her bag and monica gasped.
Monica: "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?!" she ran after Rachel but she threw it to Phoebe who was unfortunately tall so Monica couldn't get it back.
Phoebe: "Why are you hiding secret thoughts in here?"
Monica:"*nervous laugh* No."
Phoebe: "So why won't you give us the keys to the little padlock?"
Rachel: "Tell us what's inside!"
Monica: "Those are just recipes!"
Phoebe: "Recipes to make Chandler fall inlove?" she teased.
Monica: "Alright. You can have it you can't open it anyway."
Rachel:*gasp* "We can break it!"
Monica: "NOOO. That is way too expensive!"
Phoebe: "Then tell us what you really feel for Chandler."
Monica: "Haven't I told you already?"
Rachel: "We know but it's just so hard to belieeeve." her face almost pleading.
Monica: "Why do you say so?"
Rachel: "You just seem to have a connection, okay."
Phoebe: "Just spit it out. We're your girlfriends. We should tell shit to one another right?"
Monica let out a deep sigh before finally deciding to say something.
"Okay fine. To tell you the truth...I kinda miss it when he used to like me. But just that!" she blurted out.
Phoebe: "See now I don't believe you."
She groans out of defeat.
Monica: "Why is it so hard to believe?UGH! I HAVE TOLD YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN"
Rachel: "Cause we know you're lying."
Monica: "Just give me back the notebook. And stop questioning me will ya?! huh? will ya just?!"
Rachel: "It just makes me wanna hide it from you and read it even more."
Monica: "ALRIGHT! IT'S KILLING ME INSIDE! I'M INLOVE WITH HIM!"
both of them slack-jawed and eyes wide open.
Phoebe: "Aha! What did I tell you?!"
Rachel: "And we thought you'd never admit!"
Monica: "You don't say"
Rachel got all jumpy and giddy.
Rachel: "OH MY GOD IM SOO GONNA TELL CHANDLER! Oh he's gonna wanna have you back! You listen here honey!" she ran to the door.
Monica: "Wait! Rach, don't. He's happy now.
Rachel: "But if you tell him-"
Monica:"Just don't"
Phoebe: "How long have you been feeling this way?"
Monica:"....Since...the day he met Barbara." she cringed cause she knew the reaction she was gonna get from saying this.
Phoebe/Rachel: "WHAT?!"
Rachel: "Why didn't you tell us right away? You had a need to hide it from us?"
Monica: "It's not like that. Well...I was afraid you'd get all judgy and you know, I always said i would never want to date a guy like him and he's just not my type but now it's just like I'm eating my own words."
Phoebe: "You kinda are." Monica gave her a look.
Phoebe: "Sorry. But what's important now is that you tell him."
Monica: "I doubt that's a good idea."
Rachel: "You don't wanna lose him to Barbara do ya?"
"..."
Phoebe: "Yes. It's your decision but we're just giving you a piece of advice. We think you should go ahead and tell him as soon as possible. You don't wanna have feelings for him when its all too late."
Monica: "I got it all under control. It's not serious! It's just a crush!"
Rachel: "For now! That's what you think. But later on you're gonna start to develop feelings for him."
Monica: "It's- it's too complicated."
Phoebe: "It's not. You're the only one who's making it complicated Mon."
Monica: "He has a girlfriend."
Rachel: "So what? He's been inlove with you since forever!"
Monica: "I don't want Barbara to hate me. She's a friend."
Rachel: "NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT WOMAN!"
Phoebe: "Sweetie, you should rest because you're gonna have coffee with him tomorrow and seduce him! You better get your ass moving!"
Monica sighs.
Monica: "You're the boss." and goes straight to her room.
